Ahead of this afternoon’s return meeting at Elland Road, and our next outing, Ten Hag has expressed his desire for Marcus to keep growing that number in 2022/23, and says he hopes to see the forward challenge himself to hit new heights in his career over the coming months.
“[There is] much more to come [from Marcus] and we have months to play, important months,” Erik explained in his matchday Q&A, when discussing Rashford, whose previous season-high goal tally is 22.
“We have to get into a position where we can win trophies, till now, where we are, Marcus has a big impact in this season.
“I remember at the start of the season, I was questioning can he score 20 goals, now he has that marker, he has scored 20 goals, but now it’s about getting more.
“He has to challenge himself to get 30 or 35, but most focus has to be on the next goal and if you be in that focus, you will see where you end up. But most important, finally, is that we win as a team.”
